Get $200 for Your Old iPad at a Microsoft Store

Expiring on October 27, 2013, Microsoft is now offering a deal where you can stop by a select Microsoft retail store, hand them your old iPad, and they'll give you a $200 gift card to be redeemed in the store. Obviously, Microsoft wants to entice customers to check out and eventually grab a Surface tablet as a replacement, but the gift card can be used for anything in the store.

I know a lot of you have multiple iPads, upgrading to the newer versions when Apple releases them, with the older models gathering dust in a drawer somewhere. This is one time, I guess, where it pays to have stocked up and hoarded the old Apple technology. The deal is limited to 1 per customer, so if you have a few older iPads you might consider giving (or selling) one to a friend so they can take advantage of the deal. Thinking about it, you could sell one of your old iPads to someone else for $50, and they'd still get a good deal and be able to participate. Don't have an iPad to use? I'm sure your boss would take $50 for that old iPad sitting in his credenza.
